Yeah, I've been following that work for quite a while, it's really impressive! I'm a big fan of Cassandra in general (in fact, I wrote an example application to help teach beginners about it: https://github.com/ericflo/twissandra). The decision to go with PostgreSQL over Cassandra (or another distributed system like Riak or HBase) was simply because it gave us the most flexibility to change our product quickly while we operate at low scale. And if I'm honest with myself, we're operating at very low scale right now. In the future as we scale up, Cassandra's distributed counters will be one of the first places we look.
